Good for you Scotty.... you're an honest hard working schmuck and deserve
to have a good time!

I just repaired the starter on my truck and I got the survey gear loaded...

Have you thought about moving and taking your parents with you? That's
what we had to do.
Have you considered teaching? I see quite a few positions if you can
get a NS teacher’s license.

You do understand I'm currently caring for my parents and not at liberty to

responsibility I shouldered for the last few years. I can't leave until
November.

I'll send you a bottle when I get back. Look on the bright side - all
you need is to find money. My organisation has banned us from taking
spitituous liquor to sea - and I'm sailing tonight :-(

Ah well, I'm sure that 2 months of abstinence will be good for me. Luck
with the job hunting and I'll catch up when I'm back.

If they're both "naturals" why do you need to "train" them? Does their gene
pool limit their abilities to such an extent that only professional
assistance can have them operating on par with the "normal" children?

Ozzy ... I wasn't requesting confirmation of your offspring's inborn

was asking why you thought I "could obviously have done with help"??

Actually ...NO! with no training at all I've won several Dory Races. When I
was 13 years old I paddled my 10 foot plastic canoe out 5 miles to sea so I
could snorkel/spearfish a reef. At 15, I bought my first Dory and rowed it
by myself 28 miles to my bay. When my youngest brother was only 8 years old
when he went Scuba Diving with me to 68 feet. When he was 10 years old he
drove my 30 ft Cape Islander back to the dock by himself and tied off. My
friends and I had gotten drunk and passed out in the cabin and he wanted to
get the fish back to shore.

It's a good thing you have money to help your children overcome their
natural inabilities and lack of talent.

Lessons on how to row... Bwahahahahahahahahaaa!!!

Whoa Nelly... now you admit they have no sense of rhythm either!!?? Have
they at least learned to feed themselves yet or do they require professional
instruction in that area as well? I guess that's what happens to kids when
they realize they're simply the result of a grope fest and a faulty
prophylactic in a back ally. Good thing you have money Bucko!

You know how I was taught to swim Ozzy?? My old man let me walk into the
deep end of the pool when I was 18 months old. I swam to the surface and
only started to cry when they yanked me out in a panic. After that incident
I was swimming and they couldn't keep me out of the water. He says he got
cut off by my mom for a month for that stunt. Bwahahahahahaaa.

They both go to very good government schools which have excellent
sporting programs.

Do you have private schools in Australia where pupils can get a good
Academic education? State schools in the UK also have excellent sports
programmes. That is why most people with a decent income (and a sense of
responsibility) send their kids to private schools.

Why didn't you sent your kids to one of the better private schools? It
wouldn't have cost more than the difference between an "enonomy" and a
"business" class flight a year? Surely, they were worth that small
investment??

| Wow, that's how my daughter taught her cat to swim..

Was your daughter frustrated at her lack of rhythm... or simply acting upon
some deep seated resentment?? Sounds like all this easy living has gone to
her head. Kids these days... we had half the breaks and were forbidden to
whine about it. She'll probably rebel later on and thank you by marrying an
Aboriginal and settling down in the outback.

A friend brought me back some Kangaroo and Croc jerky from Australia. I
prefer chawin' on a wad of Dulce.
